Since their increase in popularity, electric scooters have proven that it’s the new and quick way to get around cities without harming the environment. Because of their convenience, affordability, and sustainability, the state of Tasmania will soon allow electric scooters in Hobart, Launceston, and the rest of the state this summer. For those who are planning to use electric scooters as soon as it is legalised in the state, here are some guidelines that you need to know before riding electric scooters.


Electric scooter law in Hobart

Electric scooters in Tasmania are currently only allowing e-scooters on public paths and spaces if they have a max power of 200W. Since most commercial e-scooters offer higher motor power than the requirements, most e-scooters in the market can’t be ridden in Tasmania.

However, when the new electric scooter law in Tasmania is implemented, commercial and shared electric scooters, as well as other mobility devices, can be used on shared paths and local roads.

According to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, the new e-scooter law will allow riders of at least 16 years of age to ride e-scooters as long as they wear helmets and follow protocols. Legalising e-scooters in the state also includes educating the public on the legal and safe use of e-scooters. 

Electric scooter safety requirements

While the new law is yet to be implemented, current e-scooter law in Tasmania requires riders with road-legal e-scooters to wear an approved helmet and comply with the following road rules:

  • Riders can use paths and roads with a max speed limit of 50 km/h except for roads with dividing lines
  • Riders must keep left when riding and must not carry a passenger
  • Riders must not use a road at night except if crossing by the shortest route
  • Riders must give way to pedestrians and ride carefully and attentively

  • Electric scooter trials in Hobart

    When e-scooters in Tasmania are legalised, commuters can expect an available shared e-scooter operator in the cities of Hobart and Launceston. The e-scooter trial is set to run for 12 months on an app-based and user-pay basis. The two cities have yet to announce the approved operators for the trial.
